About Musical instrument

The artwork titled “Musical Instrument,” created by Kazimir Malevich in 1913, is a significant piece under the Cubism art movement and falls within the genre of still life.

The artwork features a complex arrangement of geometric shapes and fragmented forms to depict a musical instrument. Various shades of yellow, black, and brown dominate the color palette, bringing a sense of rhythm and harmony that mirrors the essence of music. The juxtaposition of curves and angular structures, coupled with Malevich’s characteristic abstraction, reflects the Cubist movement’s fascination with deconstructing and reinterpreting perceived reality. Forms and lines intersect and overlap in an intricate, almost mechanical composition, capturing both the physical and symbolic essence of the musical subject.
